What is this??
'02 4.7L,
Behind the battery and behind and below the fuse box, is a canister, with three hoses coming out of it. I found a hose there that was split and disconnected at a green capped service port. I measured the ID and OD and replaced said tube at the service port. What is the service port for? Do I need to do something with it after replacing the hose?
Thanks
David

you should not need to do anything with that port except make sure that it is connected inline, it is just there to allow you to check the pressure (since i believe it is a vac line you would need a gauge capable of reading vacuume), so final answer, just make sure it is there, that is all

It is called a purge solenoid. Here's a pic:
There are two right angle hoses connected to it, make sure they do not have cracks in them or they will throw a code. The bottom connection is for the electronics. The in-line service port needs to be connected, you did a great job finding the connection and replacing the hoses. I had to search for almost an hour looking for the loose connection of the service port hose! LOL! I hope you used gasoline-resistant hose cause over time, the vapors from the gas will deteriorate the hose. I replaced all the ones that needed to be replaced with that type.
